October is the heart of sweater season in Northern Michigan, and there’s nothing we love more than pulling on that first cozy knit of fall. At Threads, we believe great knitwear should feel timeless, elevated, and versatile—pieces that become the backbone of your wardrobe year after year.
This season’s arrivals are a mix of cashmere classics, playful textures, and statement layers that strike the balance between comfort and style. Whether you’re cozying up by the bay, heading downtown for dinner, or packing for a weekend trip, these sweaters will be your go-to layers.
Cashmere Classics
Cashmere is always a fall essential, and this year’s collection is better than ever. From lightweight crews in neutral tones to chunky cardigans in rich seasonal hues, these knits are designed to go everywhere with you.
Style yours with denim for an easy everyday look, or layer a cashmere wrap over a dress for evening polish. These are forever pieces—luxurious, versatile, and endlessly cozy.
Statement Stripes & Fair Isle
Patterns are having a moment, and stripes are leading the way. Look for bold horizontal knits, subtle tonal lines, and color-blocked designs that make your sweater the star of the outfit.
Fair Isle-inspired pieces are also trending this fall, adding a heritage feel that nods to vintage ski style while still feeling modern. Pair with Gola sneakers for a playful contrast.
Oversized Comfort
There’s nothing better than wrapping yourself in an oversized knit on a crisp October day. This season, our racks are full of slouchy pullovers and boyfriend-fit sweaters that feel borrowed-from-him but styled-for-you. Balance the volume with slim denim or tuck into wide-leg trousers for a fresh silhouette.
Cropped & Layer-Ready
For those who prefer more structure, cropped sweaters are back. Perfect with high-waisted denim, slip skirts, or layered over a dress, these knits bring shape and balance to your fall outfits. They’re easy to dress up or down depending on the day.
Sweater Dresses: One-and-Done
When you need ease with impact, the sweater dress is your answer. Whether you choose a fitted ribbed style or a slouchy oversized cut, it’s the simplest way to look put-together without overthinking. Add boots and a tailored coat and you’re set.
Color Palette for the Season
This fall’s knitwear is grounded in warm neutrals—camel, ivory, and charcoal—but elevated with pops of forest green, burgundy, and deep navy. For those who love a little surprise, look for softer pastels like blush or powder blue that bring a fresh twist to autumn dressing.
